Also on Wednesday, Samsung Electronics' board of directors made a decision to lower the face value of its stocks from 5,000 won to 100 won, a move that would dramatically increase the number of common stocks to more than 6.41 billion from the current 128.3 million. In the latest financial report, which the company has posted this week, Samsung's full-year revenue totaled almost 240 trillion Korean won ($224 billion) in 2017.
